I recently got my hands on Real Relax Favor-21 3D zero gravity massage chair, and I’ve spent some quality time testing it out. Honestly, it’s hard not to get impressed when you see how many features are packed into this chair, all while keeping a sleek design that doesn’t dominate your living space. Here’s my take after using it for a few weeks.
First Impressions
Out of the box, the Favor-21 feels solid. The packaging is big (47.2" x 29.9" x 44.9"), and the chair itself weighs 141 pounds, so you’ll want a bit of help getting it into position. Once upright, it measures 1450x750x1100mm, and when reclined, it stretches to 1720x750x870mm. That’s plenty of space to really stretch out. The leather feels premium—soft, yet durable enough to handle everyday use without looking worn after a few months.
Setting it up was straightforward. The instructions are clear, and it’s designed to be grounded in a standard 110V outlet. Just make sure you give it enough clearance: 12 inches in the back and front for the reclining and footrest extension.
3D Massage Mechanism – Close to Human Hands
The 3D massage mechanism is the real star here. Unlike basic chairs that just roll up and down your back, this one mimics a professional masseuse. It moves along the SL-track from your neck down to your thighs, adjusting to your body shape thanks to the body scanning sensors. That means the rollers hit your shoulders, spine, lumbar and glutes at the right spots.
I liked that it’s adjustable. The chair scans your body to set the roller height, but if you want more control, you can tweak it manually. The rollers offer kneading, tapping, shiatsu, and combinations like kneading + tapping or kneading + knocking. I tried all the modes, and each one feels distinct—some gentle, some deep enough to work out real tension.

Zero Gravity – Floating Comfort
Zero gravity recline is a nice touch. Once you press the button, the chair reclines and raises your feet, taking pressure off your spine and joints. It’s not just relaxing; it actually changes how your body feels during the massage. Even just 10 minutes in zero gravity, and my shoulders and lower back felt noticeably looser.
Auto Programs for Every Occasion
Favor-21 has 16 auto massage programs. Boss, Queen, Senior, Sleep, Feature, Focus, Scene, Classic—you get the idea. I found myself switching depending on my mood: Boss in the morning for a firm wake-up, Sleep at night to wind down, and Queen when I wanted a spa-like vibe.
Switching between programs is super easy with the 7-inch LCD touch screen. You can also dive into manual mode for a custom experience, adjusting technique, intensity, and roller position. That level of personalization is rare at this price range.

Full-Body Airbags and Foot Massage
The chair’s airbags cover your shoulders, arms, hips, calves and feet. They inflate and deflate rhythmically, giving a compression massage that feels like a gentle hug around your whole body. It’s subtle, not overwhelming, which is great for a relaxing session after work.

The foot rollers are another highlight. They knead and press your soles, improving circulation and soothing tired feet. I spend a lot of time on my feet, and the rollers actually made a noticeable difference in soreness. Plus, the footrest extends up to 5.9 inches, so taller users can still get comfortable.

Heat Therapy and Thai Stretch
The lumbar heating module is perfect during colder months. It warms up your lower back, helps relax tight muscles, and even improves blood flow. Combine that with the Thai stretch program, which inflates leg and shoulder airbags while adjusting the chair’s backrest, and you get a stretch that feels surprisingly like a professional Thai massage.

Extras Worth Mentioning
Bluetooth speakers are built-in, letting you pair your phone and enjoy music while you unwind. There’s a child lock for safety, and a timer function that lets you set your session anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes. While there’s no voice control or app integration, the simple setup keeps things fuss-free and easy to use.

Safety and Tips
A few things to keep in mind: don’t use it near damp areas, avoid standing on the footrest, and make sure the chair is on a flat surface. It’s designed for users up to 120kg (about 265 lbs), so it fits most adults comfortably. Always unplug after use and don’t let kids play near it while it’s operating.
After a couple of weeks of testing, the Favor-21 is impressively versatile. It covers nearly every massage need—back, shoulders, legs, feet—with options for intensity and technique that let you dial it in exactly how you like. The zero gravity recline and Thai stretch programs add a level of relaxation that makes it feel like a mini spa at home.
If you want a massage chair that’s fully featured, comfortable and doesn’t break the bank, the Real Relax Favor-21 is a solid choice. It’s stylish, functional, and genuinely makes your body feel better after a long day.
